Pressestimmen

"An extraordinary love story by an extraordinary writer. Love as exile and love as words that devour lonliness and reveal it." - Ariel Dorfman "Cristina Peri Rossi is not only aware of the hells of this world, she understands the lures of paradise. Her exquisite prose projects her readers into a surrealistic realm that is filled with forbidden yet fascinating choices." - Julio Cortazar "A truly original work. Cristina Peri Rossi masterfully orchestrates an alternate and highly intelligent exploration of erotica. Her fabulous writing wittily imbalances the delicate inner linguistic structure of love. Slowly dissecting sexuality, it offers itself at the end of this inner trip as the only linguistic truth: love is a solitary, organic game." - Teresa M. Vilaros, Duke University"
